I wouldnt go that far, but I get the point. For the record Ive never called a fighter a coward and am usually the one defending fighters Ortiz being the first one to jump to my mind. For the most part there arent a lot of cowards, but its obvious with these fighters with all the physical skills who when they run into a fighter they cant dominate they fold. Its just a ridiculous statement to say there are no cowards in boxing, there are cowards in the military and they get shot at. I also dont like being lumped into the category of "internet poster", it gets said like everyone on here is some nerd whos never seen physical combat.

some fighters like marquez or gatti...for a good example just are warriors and make other boxers not seem to have as much balls...i didn't mean the internet poster as nerds that is just a reference to what we are doin now...i kno many of us on here have boxed or still do box...its just we are talking about them because they are professionals..and i think anyone who makes it pro and steps in the ring deserves credit...Comment

Im not arguing with you, like I said Im the first to come to a fighters defense after they voluntarily quit. Sometimes that is really the only reasonable option. I think that most boxers are truly brave men, there are just some who have all the tools that you can only come to the conclusion they dont succeed because they dont have it mentally. I didnt take offense to what you said it just gets posted in other threads that we as internet posters wouldnt know what to do with a set of gloves on.Comment

No need to study the art of debate because I am not debating you. As far as spell check goes this is an internet forum not a thesis paper. I could care less if I make a typo. The world will go on. The reason I said something negative about your post is because I find it a bit bothersome that a person who decides to use physical combat to earn a living is quickly labeled a coward because the individual did not follow your career path that you laid out for them. Fighters enter the ring knowing that they will be physically engaged in combat. Not the act of a coward. Sure politics plays a huge roll in boxing and some fights never get made because of it. My point at the end of the day is a coward or somebody that has the character of a coward would not succeed in boxing let alone become a world champion. You may not like certain fighters or the decisions that they make but to label a bunch of world champions cowards neither fair or accurate. Anyways have fun with your spell check.
Good, I wasn't asking for your opinion on my post either. You didn't attack my post you actually indirectly attacked me, hence why you got a negative response in return. Had you responded in a more civil way then perhaps we could have ended this in a more civil way. There you go again arguing against things that I never typed. What fighter listed did I lay a career path out for? Some of them I said were cowards for reasons such as cheating Ie. Margarito. The question wasn't who do you feel was the greatest warrior or who I do you feel had the greatest accomplishments etc. I gave you the definition of coward and pointed to acts of cowardice on each fighter. If a fighter does everything possible to avoid another fighter then in that instance he is a coward. A fighter can be a coward and still be champion. You really should be more mindful of such things when you post. And I agree with you, this is an internet forum and I honestly don't care if you feel that you can jump in and attack and feel some creamy sense of pride inside because you got all emotional over a post as opposed to handling it more respectfully. Just because you chose to argue based on emotion (hmmm doesn't sound like something a guy would do does it?? I wonder) is no business of mine is it? I didn't feel that I would have to elaborate on these post and that anyone of even marginal intelligence would get the big picture. I really didn't want to write a full report on each boxer and I gave abbreviated reasons in the parenthesis. Did you truly need me to elaborate on them in order to understand? Ok so it upset you that I said that Jermaine Taylor was afraid of Caucasians, that actually was meant to be in jest yet if you look at his record he did lose to them and he again was a fighter who they guided carefully to the top picking easy fights against blown up jr. middleweights. He arguably won against Hopkins and wright etc. I could open these arguments up so much more but something that was intended to spark debate and poke fun turned into something ugly thanks to your unimaginable ******ity.

The question was vague yet I gave a direct answer. I even listed out the instance for Rid**** Bowe, there is no way you can be that foolish. Get educated? Hhahahah I think you should check your spelling before you mention education. Additionally, in that particular instance Bowe was a coward. Bowe lost to Lennox Lewis in the Olympics and he did everything he could to avoid fighting Lennox Lewis and he even threw his championship belt in the trash as opposed to fighting Lennox. Yes, he did fight Evander Holyfield in three fights and I did not say he didn't deserve accolade for that? Did I say he ran from Holyfield and didn't fight him? Did I say that he was shivering on fight night when he went in against Bruce Seldon? You are using an argument that has nothing to do with what I posted to counter? you cannot actually expect me to explain this to you like I would a child and lower my I.Q. by fifteen points if you cannot understand.
and for the record anyone who is educated would know that the word is not worrior it is warrior. (Copy and paste this to your screen) Belive is actually spelled like this; believe!!! (part of my education involved spelling, english comprehension and grammar, did you fall asleep during those classes? And you are telling me to get educated! Ha I guess next the cow will tell the bee to how to collect pollen.Comment

You are absolutely right, we did go off on a tangent alking about martial arts. Anyway, I can respect the fact that you bowed out before it dragged on. If you want to discuss it you can pm me or we can open it up in the mma discussion area. I guess since Chuck is a martial artist he would fit into that category.Comment

The only joke was you telling me to get educated when you couldn't even spell properly, an oxymoron if you ask me. I saw the three fights that Bowe had with Holyfield. Only a serious loser would go off on a tangent about something that I didnt even post. How much of a life does one really have if they go off into something that I didnt even type.I said he ran from Lennox and in that instance he was a coward. Did I say he didn't fight his heart out. Stick to the argument please. Oops I forgot, you are so well educated that you cannot speak to people in the thread.(
Waaah waah waaaaaah... Bowe wasnt a coward I sleep on pillow covers with his face on them every night and he fought Holyfield hard he did he did I tell you..... take it back or I will hold my breath. Mommie Make him take back all the little hurtful things he said please)Comment
